I have lived by cities (BTR, RDU, MCO, MSY, HOU) but never in them and no desire to. In no particular order: Merritt Island, FL (and preferably south of Pineda Cswy) Lowcountry, SC Madisonville, LA Nearby Destin Along Kancamagus HW NH (summers only) Really surprised to see Boston on some...

Hess was up-n-down as a Friday starter last year. I was ok with that. I think it takes a certain mentality to be that and something to grow into. But I was disappointed with last Friday. Not what I expected and this is not last year. He's got to do better. I would give him 3-4 starts to get s...

[quote]1986:  Football finished no. 5  Basketball: Final Four  Baseball: College World Series appearance  [/quote] As another poster pointed out this wasn't in a single "school year." IMO, this was our best big-3 year. But I don't think we finished at #5 in football after '86. That was ...

Someone should make a gif of Trump booting him off AF1 - "get of my plane!"...

Thanks Scuba! So who's been your biggest surprise and any concerns before first pitch?...

IMO, a good Rouses is definitely better than a good Publix. I still wouldn't drive 23 miles though. What I would do is if 'I just happen to be going that way maybe' take a cooler along and stock up on some things....

[quote]What exactly is there that needs to be apologized for again?[/quote] How is this germane?...

[quote]And he’s by far the least competent coach from that list. Not even close.[/quote] Perhaps. Time will tell (and games and recruiting and rankings). Example: in year 2 of Les's tenure, we finished 3rd. We finished 6th in O's. Not bad. But still not as good as Les. O has his oppo...

[quote]Curious as to what sparked you to write this right now?[/quote] IMO, the O-apologists dismiss and downplay the comparisons. And for the most part, they are not favorable comparisons at this juncture. ...

[quote]Jeff Wickersham was a very underrated college QB.[/quote] Yep. '83 - lousy record but our O rocked. Had lost, I think, 9 starters on D from '82. '84 - should've had a win vs UF at the Swamp by Betanzos missed a short FG and we tied. '85 - led a last minute comeback and should've beat ...

Like it or not, that's simply going to be a fact of his tenure. Why? A) Les - that's who he succeeded and who was fired for (you can fill in the blank but in a word) underachievement. It was expected of him to win more than 8-9 games/yr. B) Saban - main competition in the SECW; pacesetter in...

[quote]we aren't chopped liver on either side of the ball for the upcoming season.[/quote] Could've said the same thing pre'18 and we looked like chopped liver vs Bama. Do you disagree? Since they out-recruited us on both sides of the ball again, why do you expect it to change in the future?...

[quote]C’mon, he’s said a lot of things post Bama. None of it has come to fruition. [/quote] I'm now convinced that Ed just blows smoke. He said things pre-Bama that was just lies. Until now, about 99% of my criticism has revolved around E as OC. But post-Bama he specifically hung his hat on ...

[quote]You are creating fictitious events to support your catastrophic perspective. Its time to sit down and be quiet [/quote] No he's not. He's voicing a legitimate concern. If you're a DL guru at LSU our DL play should be great and you should be able to darn near cherry pick your DL. That is...

[quote]I won’t look into this until after we hear about Ish. . . . If we lose him that’s a very disappointing d-line haul in an extremely good class.[/quote] My thoughts as well for the most part. Ish & Ika would be a good class by themselves in a 3-4 scheme. [u]Concerns[/u] - This staff (O a...

Moore's eccentricities certainly dampen the disappointment some don't they?...

There are a lot of factors to weigh in some cases. Big decision for 17-18 yr olds to make. There are coaching changes, family concerns (proximity), etc. Zero problems with recruits waiting until they're sure. That's what matters in the end....
